A mystery customer shocked three waitresses at an American diner, tipping the trio $15,000 after overhearing their concerns about making ends meet while trying to pay for school. And two of them didn't even serve her table!

Amber Kariolich, Amy Sabani and Sarah Seckinger were working their shift at the Boone County Family Restaurant in Caledonia, Ill., Saturday when a middle-aged woman eating an omelet alone at the counter asked them their names.

A few moments later, the woman handed them each a $5,000 check written out to them individually and indicated she had overheard their conversation.

"Yes, you can take it. You put that in your pocket. God sent me here to help you," reported the Rockford Register Star.

The restaurant's owner Matt Nebiu said he had never seen anything like it in 30 years of owning and running the diner. He said although the woman had been to the restaurant before, she was not a regular.
